RacqI — Racquet Sports Intelligence
For whom

The same data space — read for four different decisions.

Investors and lenders, operators and chains, brands and suppliers, federations and public bodies ask very different questions. RacqI answers each of them from the same connected structure — framed for the decision the person asking actually holds.

Four audiences

Same evidence base, same sourcing discipline. What changes is the question — and the framing of the answer.

01 — Investors & lenders

Is this market real — and what is this asset worth?

For private equity, venture capital, family offices, infrastructure funds and lenders. Diligence in days rather than weeks: white space and saturation, the operator behind every competitor and what kind of operator it is, and the economics of the site — with an audit trail that survives the investment committee.

Typical questions
Is this a good investment — and what does that judgement rest on? Check the figures in this proposal deck against the market. Which assumptions in this business plan hold — and which do not? Which sites in this pipeline do we underwrite first? Is the problem the asset or the operator? How much of the competition in this catchment is actually on the open market? Who operates here, what kind of operator are they — and how healthy are they? What does payback look like at 50, 60 or 70 per cent utilisation? Which markets are under-supplied once operator type is taken into account? What has changed in this market since we last looked? How does this operator's portfolio perform against its catchments? Which regulations could change the economics of this site?
02 — Operators & chains

Where does the next venue go — and what am I actually competing with?

For facility operators, multi-site chains, clubs and developers. Site selection, the real competitive set and the order of expansion — plus the recurring decisions that fill courts, and the changes on your own patch before a competitor acts on them.

Typical questions
Is the location I am planning suitable — and for how many courts? Which court mix fits this site: padel, pickleball, tennis or a combination? Who are my real competitors within fifteen minutes — and which of them are commercial? Where should our next three venues go, and in which order? Would a new site take customers from our existing venues? Which venues in our portfolio underperform their catchment? What should we charge at peak and off-peak times in this market? Does my business plan account for current trends and developments? Which programme fills the courts we are not using? What changed around our venues this month — openings, closures, new rules? How does our pricing compare with comparable venues nearby? Which rules apply to building a covered padel hall on this plot?
03 — Brands & suppliers

Where is my installed base growing — and who do I call?

For manufacturers and suppliers of equipment, surfaces, lighting and construction, and for booking and access software. Your addressable base segmented by sport, region, operator type and venue profile — with openings and expansions as buying signals, and territory plans built on the venue base itself.

Typical questions
Which padel and pickleball venues have opened or are planned in my territory? How large is my addressable base for court surfaces in Italy, by operator type? Which operators run several venues in my region? Which tennis clubs are adding padel or pickleball courts? Where are indoor courts being built this year? Which standards apply to a padel court surface or to court lighting in Germany? Where should our sales team focus next quarter? What is changing in the market for booking and access software? Which trade shows are worth the trip for my role? Which venues in my territory are commercial, and which are municipal? Where are outdoor courts being covered or converted? Which multi-sport venues are opening across Europe?
04 — Federations & public bodies

What does provision look like — and where is the gap?

For national and international federations, municipalities and sports development agencies. Provision mapped by who runs it — municipal, school, club, commercial — participation set against infrastructure, and the evidence a funding decision needs.

Typical questions
Where is participation in racquet sports heading in our country — and in which sports? Which trends will shape racquet sports internationally over the coming years? What support do clubs and operators expect from their federation? What do players and venues expect from national sports policy? How does our national provision compare with other countries? Is our national infrastructure keeping pace with participation? How is the mix of commercial, club and municipal venues changing across the country? How are other federations integrating padel and pickleball? Which funding programmes for sports infrastructure have worked in other countries? How are public health programmes using racquet sports abroad? Which standards and regulations differ between our member countries? What evidence supports our case for national or European funding?
White-label for federations & facility chains

Your design on the surface. RacqI as the brain behind it.

National and international governing bodies, and operators of facility chains, run the platform under their own brand and design. RacqI stays behind the interface. The competence areas can be extended for a white-label partner — coaching, events, player pathways, or whatever that organisation's own priorities require.

What the partner gets

Their own branded intelligence service, in their design — answers that carry sources, not opinions — with additional competence areas built to their priorities on top of the shared evidence base.

What their members or sites get

The same platform, reached through the organisation they already belong to — sourced, traceable, and consistent across every club or venue in the group.

The lens

RacqI knows who is asking.

Operator, investor, manufacturer, federation, municipality — who is asking decides which decisions count and in what framing the answer arrives. An investor screening a pipeline and an operator filling Tuesday mornings ask the same database two very different questions.

It stays a lens, never a filter. A stated focus prioritises what you see; it does not quietly narrow the question behind your back. Where the lens sets an assumption, it names it, and you can override it.

Same evidence base. Your decision.

The question changes with the chair. The evidence does not.

Four audiences, one data space

Bring the decision, not the category.

Pre-beta access is live. Put one real question to the platform and see what comes back — including where the evidence runs out.
